Click here to see if the Jaguars are favored

The Cowboys are going to be a power offense.  By this I mean most of their running and passing plays will be north-south, instead of east-west.  This will be an interesting match-up because the Jags defense is also very physical at the point of attack.  It’s almost impossible to run between the tackles against the Jags, but Parcells will try it out anyway.  The Cowboys will probably try to throw early in the game to soften up the run defense.  If the Jags double Terrell Owens (which they probably will), Terry Glenn and Jason Witten will have big games against the Jags.

The Jags will spread the football around to their wide-outs as not one of them has stood up to be “The Man”.  The Cowboys defense is very tough, but “Fragile” Fred Taylor still has the skills to get outside and rip off big chunks of yardage.  If rookie TE Mercedes Lewis can play, he will add a dimension to the Jags offense that hasn’t been there in a long time……a tight end that can stretch a defense.

I like the Cowboys in a low-scoring game.
